Philosophy and Literature, vol 27, n°2, October 03

For a quarter century, Philosophy and Literature has been the source for criticism and analysis at the busy intersection of philosophy, literature, and the arts. From Plato to postcolonialism, Philosophy and Literature explores the borderlands between literary and philosophical studies with lively and provocative articles and reviews.

Every issue presents a diversity of intelligent, pleasurable writing in areas often ignored by other journals: Literature and Evolution. Pragmatism. Aesthetic Theory. Ethical Criticism. Art and Cognitive Science. By repudiating the obscurantism and jargon that make many scholarly journals so indigestible, Philosophy and Literature is the leader in re-humanizing and re-animating its field.
